  Lily hadn’t had a very good morning; luck just had not been going her way. So, she’d anticipated ever tick of the large clocks hands. She knew she just needed to take a breather, go outside & clear her mind. Though, she knew she’d have to wait till their break to do so. It irritated her, the way the hands seemed to mock her while they moved ever so slowly around the face. She couldn’t help but keep sighing & tapping her pen against the hard table underneath. The brunette couldn’t imagine how much it must have been annoying the people around her, she felt sorry for them. Her mind was somewhere else though, so she didn’t stop instead she just carried on.
The bell finally rang, signalling the end of the torturous first lesson! Lily couldn’t help but grin widely, like a cat. Though, if anyone else had been her they’d understand why. She wasn’t the first one out of the large oak doorway, but she wasn’t the last either. The brunette virtually ran down the stairs, she was surprised she didn’t run into anybody because she wasn’t looking were she was going at all. So, she did have a few close encounters but never actually bumped into someone... that was probably the first piece of luck she’d had all day.
Then, she ran straight down to the pond. She remembered the first day she’d visited this place, it cleared her mind then too. There was just something about it, so serene...so calm. It was just a nice place to be, especially on a day like this when it wasn’t exactly sunny but it wasn’t raining. The blue sky reflected in the water, making it seem all the more magical. She threw down her bag & took a seat on the bank of the pond. That was when she heard a noise from behind her...

  Classes had finally been released for the day, and Albus couldn't be happier. It was just one of those days where it seemed like he had woken up on the wrong side of the bed, as his mother liked to say, and he had spent the day not in the best of moods. His first class of the morning had seemed to drag on, and his normal focus on what the teacher was saying had drifted to staring out the window. It was a nice day, bright and practically cloudless. One of the better days so far as the last bit of summer transitioned into fall, and he was stuck inside in a boring class.
He tried hard to focus on what the teacher was saying, especially if he ever happened to get called on, but the messy haired boy found it hard to keep focus for more than a couple of minutes at most. Letting out a sigh, Al gave up and busied himself with picking at the corners of his parchment paper. The minutes dragged on, and the clocks hands made a ticking noise that only seemed to mock him. Finally after what seemed like forever the bell signaling the end of class echoed through the castle and Al got up from his chair quickly before collecting his things and with a small wave to his friends, he hurried out of the classroom.
Letting his feet take him where they may, he didn't pay much attention until he could feel the slight breeze on his face. It was pleasant weather, as it tended to be around this time of the year, and he quickly hurried down through the courtyards. Al couldn't say he was quite sure where he had been heading, but before long he found himself only a couple of feet off of the pond. Looking around, he didn't see many people. Good. Starting off around the area, he paused when he noticed a dark head of hair not far from him. It matched his own, if only a few shades darker, and he smiled when he realized it was his sister. Coming up behind her, he called out to her, "Lily!", loosening his tie as he reached her.

After she'd sat down the brunette started staring into the tranquil water in the large expanse of the clear pond, her mind calming down now she had time to relax a bit. Then, the noise brought her back to reality when she was just about to turn around she heard the familiar voice of her old brother, Albus."Hey Albus!" She smiled, standing up & giving him a hug. She had two brothers, but she was closer to Al then she was to James. She didn't know whether it was because Albus was the closest to her own age, or whether it was just because she felt more comfortable around him. She didn't know & to be honest, she didn't care.
Albus was the one brother she had wrapped around her finger, the one who would do anything for her. Though, she would never use him to his own disadvantage. After all, they were family & she cared about him. Lily was the kind of girl who would use someone, but would never hurt them in anyway. She wasn't the type of girl like that, she'd never been that girl. Of course, sometimes she wished she was more popular but didn't everybody? It was just natural, that's what her parents told her anyway. Be yourself, popularity is just a craving we all have but if they don't like you for who you are...stuff them'
[/color]they'd say. She'd listen to them, they were parents & she loved them too. Then, she released Al from the hug & sat back down on the edge of the pond. The brunette was kinda annoyed that she wasn't alone anymore, but was happy that it was only Albus here & not some stupid person she didn't know from a different house. So, she'd deal with it like always. She was used to dealing with unexpected & unwanted company, but she'd never admit that sometimes she did enjoy their company. Her brother was one of those people who sometimes annoy her, but she'd always secretly love & look up to. It was just who she was, she couldn't change that. No matter how much she tried to tell herself that she didn't, she always ended up losing that argument with herself. "What brings you here?" Lily asked, smiling at him. This was her usual chill-out place after all, hardly anyone ever came here. Well, she'd never seen anyone here when she was here. Whether they saw her & thought otherwise, or no one came here she didn't know but she liked the peacefulness of the place & wouldn't change anything about it. That's why she was so curious to what brought her older brother here, especially when the weather wasn't sunny or anything. It was just a calm, blue but cloudy day. So, why he was here she didn't know at all.

By the time he reached the younger girl, his tie was loosed and hanging open on his neck. He'd always hated the things, and never quite understood the need for them. They only reason he could imagine the need for them was because the emblazonment on them showed which house the student belong to, but at the same time he found that stupid. House rivalry was something that wasn't really present in the school anymore, though there were still some students who participated in it, but otherwise it was really just another way to divide the students up. But then again, he'd never been a fan of ties on any occasion.
"Hey," with a grin he wrapped his arms around Lily before squeezing her tight once and letting go. Out of both his siblings, she was the one he was closest to. Maybe because he was completely wrapped around her little finger - and did he know it - but maybe also because when she was born, he'd gotten the chance to be a big brother. It wasn't something he got to do with James, especially with the boy being older than him. But with Lily, he'd always done everything she'd asked of him, and had always been protective of the small girl. Loosening his grip around her, Al let his arms drop back down to his sides as she did before following her over to her spot at the pond.
It was quiet and tranquil, not that he was really surprised at all. While he didn't spend much time down by the small pond, the couple of times he had, there weren't many people present and it always seemed quite serene. There was an occasional sound of trickling water, and the smooth surface of the pond was broken by the small ripple every now and then. But for the most part it was quiet; just like how he liked things. He didn't break the silence between him and his sister, content just to sit and listen to the noises around them for a while.
But she ended up breaking the silence not much later, and he turned to look at her from his sitting position. "Class got out, and I just needed to go somewhere where there weren't many people. Ended up here, though I wasn't really thinking about the pond at the time," he explained, running a hand through the hair that was so much like his father's. Though not as dark as his, Albus had certainly inherited the messy hair that never seemed to want to settle down in back. His attention had turned back towards the lake, and he looked over at Lily in a sideways glance before speaking. "What about you, Lil?" He know in some ways this was her spot, the one that she came to when she wanted to be alone or just bored.
Not pursuing the conversation any more unless she decided to, Albus laid down on the ground underneath him, tucking one hand behind his head and bringing the other one up to shield his eyes from the morning sun. He could feel the heat of it play across his face, and warm his skin. Letting out a sigh, he closed his eyes against the light, though he was still aware of his surroundings as he did so.
